become bigger business than ever. Nowhere else is that more true than with Neo-Geo games, arcade and home console titles whose 2D graphical prowess were matched only by their price (which is why only the hardcore know about them). Now though everyone can experience the classic games of old, including the entire Metal Slug series - one of the finest side-scrolling shooters of all time. This compilation includes all seven of the core games, including the brand new Metal Slug 6 and Metal Slug X. If you've never played a Metal Slug game before it's functionally similar to games like Contra/Gryzor as you trundle from left to right across the screen perforating with extreme prejudice anyone that comes your way (usually Nazi stand-ins or aliens). Although Metal Slug's set-up is both simplistic and unoriginal it's the execution that makes it shine. Weapon upgrades include everything from a lighting bolt shooting cloud to a machine-gun equipped monkey helper, as well as the eponymous metal slugs: heavily armed vehicles ranging from tanks to helicopters, jet planes, submarines, ostriches and elephants. The attention to detail in the animation is incredible, helped by the game's wicked sense of black humour. However, although all the games are essentially arcade perfect not all of them are as well regarded as each other (particularly numbers 4 and 5) and the controls aren't necessarily well suited to either the Wii or PSP - although the former includes a lot of bizarre alternative motion control options. In the end though the only real flaw is the extra loading pauses throughout the games, but if you can ignore that this is an excellent celebration of one of 2D gaming's greatest bastions.

Advantages: Reminiscent of 2D games, Midgame Progress Save! Disadvantages: Load times affect pacing, Motion Controls not that great
...game lovers, you remember playing Metal Slug? Well, Metal Slug, Anthology is the release to commemorate a 10th anniversary of the Original Metal Slug, simply by rolling all the 7 different Metal Slug arcades into one, and there we have Metal Slug Anthology. For the MS vets though, there is still that short-but-just about noticeable loading time in the game, and disappointingly, the Wii remote isn't the ideal thing for playing Metal Slug either.

The first ever Metal Slug story involved the Peregrine Falcon (PF) Squad, a small but skilled team of soldiers serving under the Regular Army's special operations division, who fight against the army of General Donald Morden in order to prevent a massive coup d'etat (overthrowing a government) and the creation of a New World Order under General Morden. Later games featured characters from the Sparrows Unit, ...
